Stellantis recalling over 354K Jeeps worldwide; rear coil springs can fall off while being driven

DETROIT --

Stellantis is recalling more than 354,000 Jeeps worldwide because the rear coil springs can fall off while they're being driven.

The recall covers certain 2022 and 2023 Grand Cherokee and 2021 to 2023 Grand Cherokee L SUVs.

The company stated in it's documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the springs may have been installed incorrectly in production. They can detach from the vehicle while it's moving, increasing the risk of a crash and possibly creating a hazard for other drivers.

As of May 25, Stellantis said there are no reports of crashes or injures and most of the recalled vehicles are in North America. SUVs with air suspensions are not affected.

Dealers will inspect the springs and replace the assemblies if necessary. Owners are to be notified by letter starting July 28.
